If Apple HomeView shows an “App Unavailable” message

This message may appear if privacy settings on your paired device, or settings managed by the Home app Resident (Owner) or an Admin, restrict an app's or widget's permissions.

If an app or widget on your iPhone isn't appearing on Apple HomeView, first check:

  • The app is still downloaded on your paired iPhone.

  • Your iPhone is updated to iOS 27.2 or later.

  • HomeView and your iPhone are on the same Wi-Fi network.

  • HomeView and your iPhone are set to the same language.*

If you use HomeView with an iPad, you can't use third-party audio or video apps, or add remote widgets for controlling devices.

* Available in English. Spanish language support to come.

If an app or widget is still unavailable on HomeView

HomeView supports a variety of Apple apps and many third-party apps and widgets. However, developers determine the availability of third-party content. If an "App Unavailable" message indicates that the app or widget is only available on your companion device, contact the app developer.
